What is a tiltrotator?
A tiltrotator is mounted between your machine coupler and tool. This allows you to tilt the tool and rotate it 360° for easier access in all directions, enabling you to take on many profitable new jobs that may have been too difficult before. Read more here.

What’s the difference between a machine coupler, an attachment frame and a quick coupler?
Your machine coupler is mounted on the excavator, enabling you to switch between tools. The attachment frame is located on the top of the tiltrotator and can be connected to the machine or a machine coupler. The quick coupler is located under the tiltrotator, enabling use of tools with a corresponding system.

What is a “fully automatic quick coupler system”?
We refer to our QuickChange™ technical solution as a “fully automatic quick coupler system”. It allows you to disconnect and connect tools or tiltrotators quickly and automatically without leaving the cab.

Is my tiltrotator from Rototilt® filled with oil or grease?
When we launched the RT60 tiltrotator in 1997, we switched to oil-filled rotor housings. Our research director, Richard Larker, explains more:
“Oil has special properties that are particularly beneficial for tiltrotators. Cog contact in a worm gear is characterized by significant friction, which produces heat. This heat is dissipated by the oil to the entire rotor housing, which is something that does not occur with grease.”

Which oil should I use and how often should I change it?
Rototilt recommends oil with part no. 5418952, which is available in 5-litre containers. The first oil change should take place at 500 hours. After that, perform oil changes every 1,000 hours.

How often should the oil level be checked?
The oil level should be checked every 160 hours. It is checked by tilting the tiltrotator approximately 20°. The oil level should then be at the lower edge of the filler hole.
